Whether you use a standard water bowl or a pet fountain, try to place it in a cool, shaded area of your home to help prevent the water from warming or evaporating too quickly.<\/p>\n

He added: “While dogs shouldn\u2019t consume regular ice cream, there are plenty of safe and tasty alternatives. Try slicing up some banana and popping it in the freezer, or spread a small amount of your dog\u2019s favourite treat onto a lick mat and freeze it for added enrichment.<\/p>\n
“You can also make simple frozen lollies at home by placing a few pieces of their favourite kibble in an ice cube tray, topping it up with water, and freezing. It\u2019s an easy and affordable pet-friendly way to help your dog cool off while giving them a fun and rewarding snack.”<\/p>\n

“If your dog prefers to stay indoors, you can create a relaxing chill-out zone by closing the curtains to block out the sun and placing a fan nearby to keep the air circulating.<\/p>\n
